In the event that the same club won both the FA Cup and the League, the League runners-up take part.
It wasn't until 1974 that FA secretary Ted Croker formalised the modern domestic "Super Cup" format of league champions versus FA Cup winners, in a match traditionally hosted at Wembley Stadium, but the competition didn't earn "major trophy" status until the Premier League era in 1993 when it was determined that drawn matches would be settled by a penalty shootout.

Prior to this decision, the trophy was shared between the clubs in the event of a draw.
Since becoming a major trophy 34 seasons ago, an exclusive group of just eight clubs have won the competition.
With 11 wins Manchester United are the most successful club, followed by Arsenal (10), Manchester City (4), Chelsea and Liverpool (3), Crystal Palace, Everton and Leicester City (1).
